Insights You Won’t Want to Miss.
Date: Tuesday, October 14, 2025
Time: 11:30 – 12:30 PM
Location: Webinar with Meghan Miller, Catherine Levis, and Alaa Houri
Wondering if your child may have ADHD can feel overwhelming, confusing, and even isolating, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. This session will guide parents and caregivers through the essential steps of understanding and supporting children struggling with attention, focus, or emotional and behavioral dysregulation.
Together we’ll explore:
When to Seek an Assessment: Recognizing age-appropriate signs and knowing when it may be time to schedule a professional evaluation.
Types of Assessments: Understanding the difference between screenings and comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, and why a full picture matters.
Supporting Your Child at Home: Practical, proactive strategies to reduce conflict, build confidence, and help your child feel empowered while waiting for, or living with, a diagnosis.
Whether you’re just beginning to ask questions or already walking this journey, you’ll leave with clear guidance, helpful tools, and encouragement for supporting your child’s growth and success.
